[RESOLVED] simpleXML and Namespaces Help

I have a feed that has been working fine till I modified the feed to support iTunes, which uses namespaces. I am trying to get the information from the feed to display, but I am not having luck.

Here’s a snippet of the feed:

[code]
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<rss xmlns:itunes=”http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd” version=”2.0″>
<channel>
<title>Company Podcasts</title>
<link>http://localhost</link>
<language>en-us</language>

function processFeed($rss,$type) {

# Initiate variables

case “home”:

}
}
}
break;
# End case “home”

} # End Switch

$_GET[‘newsoutput’] .= “</ul>”;
echo $_GET[‘newsoutput’];
}
[/code]

and the call is:

[code=php]
<?php processFeed(“http://localhost/podcast.xml”,”sermons”); ?>
[/code]

Also in #PHP _↴
